In this activity, learners explore the parts of a circuit by modeling, as a group, a “human” circuit.

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this activity, learners explore how a flashlight works, showing the electric circuit and switch functions of this everyday household item.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.
